I used the free trial in LA for a while. I placed quite a few orders in the two months that I used it, but ultimately decided to cancel it before I had to pay the additional $220.
The selection was somewhat mediocre compared to what you would find in a real grocery store. The quality of produce was good, while the quality of the meat was mediocre. The selection of wine and beer was abysmal (wine and beer were made available through a third party, but they seemed to have a very limited selection). The pricing was also considerably higher than what you would find at a supermarket and just slightly lower than Whole Foods (while the quality was not nearly as good...). They seemed unable to meet the demand for certain items (La Brea bakery bread for example), and in two separate orders they just didn't send some items.
I realized with the first order that you really need to do the in person delivery since you'll be stuck with a bunch of giant box/bag things full of frozen water bottles cluttering up your residence unless you return them to the delivery person. They encourage you to tip the delivery person as well, which I find annoying. If I'm already paying $220 for this additional service, why don't Amazon pay them a decent wage? In the end, I just don't order enough groceries to justify the $220 a year it costs.
